As of early April 2006, support for the War in Iraq and for President George W. Bush's foreign and domestic policies was steadily dwindling, even among key supporters. Some believed Iraq to be in a state of sectarian civil war. Social security reform, congressional spending, and the President's wiretap controversy were other issues that had many social libertarians, fiscal conservatives, and senior citizen AARP members concerned. Some reporters said that some in the Republican Party had become mutinous, distancing themselves from the President in fear that anti-Bush voters would vote them out of office. Others, especially Republicans in the House of Representatives, distanced themselves from the President because of his stance on the illegal immigration issue. George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is an American businessman and politician, was elected in 2000 as the 43rd President of the United States of America, re-elected in 2004, and is currently serving his second term in that office. ...

Factors favoring the Democrats were public discontent with the President and low approval of Congress, discontent among the Republican base because of illegal immigration, fiscal responsibility, and slowing of President Bush's nominees for the federal judiciary, calls for U.S. soldiers to be withdrawn from Iraq, and the usual advantage that 2006 is a midterm election in the President's second term. Factors favoring the Republicans were the war between Israel and Hezbollah, a stronger than expected U.S. economy, and foiled British terror attack and arrests on August 11, 2006, exploitation of Nancy Pelosi and other liberal members of Congress's voting records, and possible incumbency factor in swing state elections.
